Interview
I got a email and text roughly 2 weeks after I applied stating to come in for an in person interview, my interviewer checked my resume for 2 seconds and said they would move me forward to the bar manager and metioned more likely than not I would be hired, I would do a pour test and that was it. Up comes my second interview and 30 minutes before I get a text saying my interview was cancelled and they weren't moving forward. I called to make sure it wasn't a typo and was told the position was filled yesterday and they forgot to give notice, very unprofessional and wasted hours of my time today.
